Wow 3 build threads at the same time.... Anyways, as a few of you have known I had been daily driving a 73 Toyota Hilux for over a year when my 244 was being worked on, truck had always been reliable except for a few mishaps with the distributor and engine cover deciding to explode 
. It had plenty of go due to the fact it had a jdm 18rg with a w58 behind it, but it had no low end grunt at all you would have to spin the motor out to get any kind of real power out of It and due to it basically having itbs it made for very loud and annoying road trips. Here's some pics of the original setup.
Well I got tired of the engine, I mean it's a very very cool motor but hell you have two people in the truck and you can really feel it lol. So me being ADHD and not being able to leave anything alone, this happened.
And it's replacement was this
So now the Hilux has a 92 b230ft with a nice m47 behind it, the oil pan required a bit of fabrication to make it clear the steering links and also us being swedes this is all done on a super tight budget, meaning we are basically only using what we have, on that note don't judge the ls1 motor mounts haha
So as of right now those are the only pics I have, the drive line is done basically all that needs to be finished is engine assembly and wiring which is the easy part, I'll try and get some more updates later tonight as I am just on a lunch break right now! Enjoy!!!
